Last week, Edwards received the Bob Waters Male Athlete of the Year award by the Southern Conference. Edwards is no stranger to accolades as he became the first person in Football Championship Subdivision history to win the Walter Payton Award in back-to-back years. That award is given to the top performer in the FCS, much like the Heisman Trophy is given to the top athlete in the Football Bowl Subdivision as voted on by the media.

If not for the drafting of QB Tony Pike, the Panthers might have been able to save an extra roster spot by also using Edwards as their #3 QB. Often the Titans, Colts, and maybe a few other teams only carry 2 QB's on their 53 man roster (I prefer 3 QB's though, because it allows the team an extra emergency 46th player for the 45 man game day roster).

If Edwards were only 2 inches taller, then his future might still be at QB. I always described him (as a QB) as Michael Vick, with accuracy.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
